OK, so after following up, it looks like the frontpage server extensions for
the Windows server 2003 was installed through add/remove programs.

Heres the problem again:
In IIS Manager
I left click on Default Website and select All Tasks, and then select
Configure Server Extentions 2002

I then Specify an administrator account for this virtual server and then hit
Submit.

which brings me to this page:
http://cbscc-m3-iis01:5188/fpadmdll.dll

which looks like a webpage and in the center it reads: "Please wait while
your changes are processed."  but nothing happens, it just sits there.

any ideas?

Interesting, i just tried to extend again but from my machine and not
remotely connected and i got the following error message:

Unable to create a web at the URL "/" because FrontPage information was
unexpectedly encountered beneath the corresponding directory
("E:\inetpub\wwwroot\"). If you are certain that there is no FrontPage web a
t
" E:\inetpub\wwwroot\AdministrationFinance
", you should delete the file
" E:\inetpub\wwwroot\AdministrationFinance
\_vti_pvt\services.cnf" or rename i
t
to "services.org".

there are numerous websites under wwwroot.
any ideas?

Each virtual site has to be in a separate directory tree.
They can all be under INETPUB for instance, but you can not put one inside a
nother site which is what is happening if you try to
put them under WWWRoot.

the directory is setup as follows:

inetpub
|
|---------|-----------|
ftproot   wwwroot   scripts
|
|---------|-----------|
website1  website2  website3

Each virtual site has its own directory. There is no virtual site in a
directory within a virtual site directory.

That will work as long as WWWROOT is NOT the root directory of a site, but s
ince the default installation of IIS creates a site in
WWWROOT, I would expect that there is one there.

ok thanks, any idea what the default site's name would be?

Im also going to go through these existing sites that have been slapped on
here. It looks like some sites with frontpage functionality were put onto a
server that did not have frontpage extensions installed in the first place.
Could it be that FPSE cannot install when there is existing frontpage data i
n
the virtual directories?

Don't know about the install question.

As far as the default site is concerned.
Start the IIS Administration Console
Right click each web site in Web Sites and see if the "Local Path" on the Ho
me Directory tab points to the WWWROOT folder.  (I
would start with the one labeled Default Web Site.

Basically the Local Path of one site can not be nested within the Local Path
 of another site.

Your'e right.
http://rich.toogeek.com/IISshot1.jpg
http://rich.toogeek.com/IISshot2.jpg

The local path for default website is E:\inetpub\wwwroot
and the local path for processtoolbox is E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\processtoolbox

I have sucessfully configured server extensions 2002 for default website.
but it is processtoolbox that i need the frontpage web set up for so i can
connect to it via frontpage.  Any ideas what i should do next?

wwwroot is your default web site.
You must create the processtoolbox so that it appears as
E:\Inetpub\processtoolbox
Use the IIS console to build your new site.

sorry, are you saying I should just move the location of processtoolbox and
change it's local path,  or to create a new website that is not under defaul
t
website?
